TIPS: What the Question Really Means:
Preparing for an interview represents one of the most important steps in the job search process.
Knowledgeable job seekers recognize the importance of thorough interview preparation and typically research
the company and the position before meeting with the employer. Preemptively researching the employer not only
equips job seekers with valuable information about the potential workplace but also provides a legitimate answer
to the common question, “What did you do to prepare for this interview?” When employers ask about interview
preparation, the question actually reveals how much the applicant really cares about the job opportunity.
BEST ANSWER: How to Answer the Question:
Questions about interview preparation give job seekers the opportunity to show genuine desires for the position.
To answer the question in the most effective way possible, applicants must perform a bit of research prior to attending
the interview. By perusing the company website ahead of time, interviewees may learn enough about the prospective
employer to demonstrate adequate preparation and interest in the job. Employers want to hire people committed to
going above and beyond the call of duty, even in terms of preparing for interviews. Therefore, when responding to
questions on the subject, candidates should emphasize desire for the job before specifically describing each step taken
to prepare for the interview process.

Moreover, I did a ‘competitor-analysis’ to ascertain the market share, business model and revenue comparison of your competitors. Lastly, I tried to reason out how I would be able to bring my expertise to the table while bridging the need gap to new markets and retaining our market position.
(2) I browsed through the online product catalog and I familiarized myself with the specific features of each one of them. I am all set to differentiate our products with that of competitor’s and sell across.
(3) Of course I looked at your web site, and talked to some people about the company, but I think 10 successful years in this business has prepared me not only for this interview, but for the job as well.
